This question ahas been answered many times on several lists, but perhaps not

Vserver is another virtualisation technologie (sort of enhanced chroot).
It is not in the standard kernel, so you have à linux-image*vserver package.
But, as it is not like Xen (para or full virtualization), it can be used with
it.
You can Have a server with several virtual machines with Xen, and in on of
them (Dom0 or DomU), you can have some vservers if you use a
linux-image-*-xen-vserver-*.
I already installed the linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-vserver-amd64 on my server and decided to have a VServer and Xen setup. But, I can't find a good HOWTO on such setup. Is it having VServer inside Xen or the other way around? My Debian GNU/Linux Etch AMD64 main system is currently running the
linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-vserver-amd64 kernel and Xen is already running:
